Warren, PA – The Warren County YMCA held its first-ever Thanksgiving Blessing Box distribution this week after receiving a large donation from several local organizations, including Targeted Pet Treats.
Community members and YMCA employees worked together to fill more than 100 boxes for local residents in need.
Each box contains non-perishable items for a full Thanksgiving meal, along with a ten-dollar gift card.
Event coordinator Jennifer Suppa said, “Our community is so giving, and whenever I ask people for things a lot of members are really generous. We’ve been collecting the groceries for the last three weeks. It feels good that we’re going to be able to help people. I originally thought we’d do like twenty-five to thirty boxes. And now we’re at over a hundred.”
There will be another pickup for community members Tuesday, November 25th from 9:00AM until 3:00PM at the Warren County YMCA on Lexington Avenue. Community members who are interested or in need of assistance can contact the Warren YMCA at 814-726-0110 or stop by their location.
Event organizers hope the distribution will become a yearly event.
